Get obsolete PCs and install odd OSes like OpenBSD on them.
I have been incommunicado for a few weeks (moving, and hilarity at
work), but now I'm back and ready to send you more build-reports and
whiny complaints.
I am the proud owner of exclusively "odd" hardware and software. After I
do some post-move hardware rearranging, I will be able to test XEmacs on
OpenBSD/i386 and OpenBSD/Alpha, as well as the OS X machine I've been
using.
CVS sucks for branches. Switch to something else, medium-term.
I went to CodeCon this year (
www.codecon.org) where there was a panel on
source code control systems. Scroll down to the bottom:

OpenCM and Subversion were touted by their developers as close
replacements for CVS ("only better") and also not quite ready yet.
BitKeeper is supposedly mature, good, huggable, and also not much like
CVS. And there is the non-free-ness, and all the flaming and screaming
that entails.
